Objective
To regain a career position within the commercial glazing industry. Although I have taken some time away from the glazing industry on a daily basis. I have kept myself informed of new developments and systems by being from a family that has been in glazing industry for many years. Of the various positions I have held within the construction industry. Glazing is by far the profession I am most proficient at and enjoyed the most. The reason for leaving the industry for sometime was due to the various stresses that one confronts as being an owner and taking on to many responsabilities to reamain lean and very competative subsequently creating a situation for burnout. I'm anxious to return to the glazing industry and feel with my overall construction experience, unique insite and skills in various positions I have held within the industry I would be a desirable asset to any glazing orginization.
